Make me think of the book

https://www.franklincovey.com/books/the-speed-of-trust/

which has a profound message is manifestly true (e.g. of course you have been in an organization which was slow because people didn't trust each other) but can't be separated from the ® mark at the end of "Speed of Trust ®", that is, people can't help to be cynical of that kind of message as soon as you put it in a marketing frame.



too angry, too many X links, too many X links where the title doesn't really match the content -- particularly when the title is promising ("sharp elbows") but I wind up disappointed because it's the typical X that doesn't really say anything at all.

My nonenby reinterpretation of Fukuyama's (as a representative of right-swingers)

is in the frame of "optionality". What does the 10% enby in you say about that. Does transgender surgery increase or reduce optionality? Or wrong question? (Hormone therapy is perfectly fine to me, but nebivolol is even better ;)

There is also an enby take in there ("EnergyKnife") for reference.

As for trust.. yeah a lot/most of the time it is fruitless to try and build trust? A pessimistic take, but maybe optimism reduces agency?

The only relevance here to BuddyCasino is that he looks like a trader. that has appeal of "optionality" to young males ime. Cuts through the optimism vs pessimism predicament in some situations, kicks the metric can down the road in others. (Compare: "chaos [volatility] is a ladder")

His links don't get me angry but into a state of cognitive dissonance that I kind of enjoy, like some metal fans do. Haven't figured out his way of thinking yet but he does seem to be on schizotypal spectrum :)


To take it out of that frame, could you summarize book's main message and your main objection to it? I trust you more than LLM :)

Aside: three of my favourite people on HN are here!

Aside number 2: that's why a simple "trust me bro", if used correctly (usually ironically, these days), works wonders!


If you're trying to do something with some people and there is trust you can just go do it and it's done -- and if there is no trust you can spend hours arguing and barguing.

I don't personally have an objection to the book but I know that a lot of people react cynically to things in that register, like I know I could recommend that people would read it and very few will.


Growth is still a resource problem.
